The Search for the Perfect I have an oily and pimple prone skin. I am always on a lookout for the products which can suit my skin type perfectly. I don't apply foundation except once or twice in a year and that too   when I need to use heavy makeup. It is my experience that Foundation, most of the time, clogs our pores and supports  in the  pimple breakout. So for day to day coverage of uneven skin tone, I needed something which does not cause breakouts and does not make my skin look oily or shiny. After using BB creams from various brands I came across body shop BB cream and I thought of giving it a try. surprisingly it suited me a lot and met most of my desired expectations.                         About the product   The product is launched by The Body Shop. It mentions that the product contains fair trade organic tea tree oil from Kenya. This particular product comes in three shades...

Rules are not made in the heaven Most of the time the rules for women are made by the the prevailing  mindset. This particular mindset try to tell the women   what to wear, how to live and above all how to behave according to their age.  I would like to highlight certain typical  comments by people regarding the women fashion and style and how it should be conveniently ignored. It is the individual alone who decides what to wear according to their tastes. We should be rational enough to counter these negative comments by treating ourselves to more style, fashion and grace.  It Should Flatter You  We often hear the clamour that do not wear anything too tight to reveal your figure. The best advise  is to use the clothing which fits you, makes you feel happy and ultimately flatters your body type. Colour is Life A perpetual suggestion one receives is regarding colouring the hair. "Do not get your hair coloured in funky Colours ...

Get the Complete Look... A month back I had to attend the wedding of a close relative. At that time I realized that for the makeup to be perfect, I needed a perfect makeup base. This is a daunting task as the perfect makeup base includes primer concealer foundation as well as the powder to be applied in a proper way. Otherwise it might lead to an uneven complexion thereby spoiling the complete look.  The Perfect Makeup Base While searching for that "perfect makeup base" I scouted through the various brands in the market. This itself is a time consuming process. But I came across L'Oreal Paris true match genius 4 in 1 R1 Rose Ivory product which claims to be a 4 in one product. Further it claims to act as a primer concealer foundation. I quickly bought a shade matching my skin tone. The shade which I bought is Rose Ivory that is R1.                                      ...

Moisturizing- The Basic Step  We all are familiar with the basic steps of skin care like cleansing, moisturizing and toning. But among the three basic steps, the moisturizing part is what I am going to write about today by way of discussing about a product.

Avene Anti wrinkle concentrate It's Almost an Eraser Today I am going to review a product which works as an eraser for the early signs of wrinkles for the mature skin. I am impressed by the results after using the said product for the three months. As such I have decided to review it for the benefit of all.                             The Furrow Formations Our skin loses its texture as we grow old. The first signs of wrinkles appear near the mouth and it starts forming the furrows. These signs of wrinkles mainly appear because of the loss of collagen fibers and Hyaluronic Acid which are the main factors for maintaining the firmness. The Hyaluronic Acid also soaks up the water and thus leads to the glowing plump, hydrated and youthful skin. But this molecule also has the tendency to deteriorate rapidly as we age leading to the dehydrated wrinkled and aged looking skin.     ...

As We Age... As we age, our skin goes through many changes. Skin becomes thin and less plump. It loses its regenerative capacity because of less blood circulation. Wrinkles start to appear because of the retarded metabolism of skin and glandular cells. It's true that  if we don't take care of the skin at the right time, then it becomes wrinkled, uneven and pigmented.  The Solution Lies in... The solution lies in using right kind of anti ageing products and that too at the right time. The product should be such that it should be  able to provide ample protection to the skin against free radical damages. Further it  should be able to provide required lipids and moisturizers to maintain the elasticity of the skin.  The Search...  I tried many over the counter anti ageing products but was not satisfied. Sometimes it lead to breakouts and other times the creams were very heavy on the face leading to the oily skin.  T...
